> I think that high dose sonata might be a good idea--unless it starts to do weird things at higher doses. the problem is my pdoc isn't all that nice; he seems to be exasperated with me. Sometimes he does that sigh thing. But he does know a lot about meds and is supposedly an expert on sleep disorders. I think maybe I'll ask him why he seems exasperated--but I'm sort of afraid to.
DC- Sometimes docs get frustrated when a lot of things don't work, too. But sighing is just plain rude! The doc is a medical consultant you have hired; you have a right to expect courteous and professional service.Instead of asking, you might try telling him that you find sighing and other nonverbal expressions of exasperation unhelpful and that you expect him to be responsible for his nonverbal behavior by being both direct and explicit in his communications to you.
Good luck!--medlib
